ESAB OK 48.60 7018 3.2x350mm
£0.00 Ex VAT
The ESAB OK 48.60 is a premier E7018 all-position electrode engineered for structural steelwork, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel construction. It provides a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter and easy slag removal. With a diffusible hydrogen content of less than 5.0 ml/100g, it ensures crack-resistant, X-ray quality welds even in demanding conditions.
Description
The ESAB OK 48.60 is a high-integrity MMA electrode formulated to deliver consistent mechanical properties across a wide variety of carbon and carbon-manganese steels. While similar to the OK 48.00, it is often selected for its competitive pricing and superior running characteristics in harsh or high-humidity environments.
- Mechanical Strength & Toughness: The electrode maintains exceptional weld metal toughness at low temperatures, achieving a Charpy V-notch impact value of 70 J at -40°C. It typically offers a yield strength of 445 MPa and an elongation of 28%, ensuring ductile, high-strength joints.
- Operating Performance: Designed primarily for DC+ polarity, it provides deep penetration and excellent control for vertical-up (3G) and overhead (4G) welding. The lime-basic coating is specifically engineered to resist moisture pick-up, further mitigating the risk of cold cracking.
- Broad Industry Approvals: It carries extensive certifications from major societies, including ABS, DNV, and Lloyd’s Register (LR), confirming its suitability for heavy machinery repair, offshore structures, and bridge building.
- Practical Efficiency: With a deposition efficiency of approximately 70%, it is a cost-effective solution for large-scale industrial projects requiring high-integrity results.
